"Bharat Ratna Awards: Political Maneuvering and Controversy Surrounding Recent Recipients"

Sonia Gandhi's discomfort with the decision to award Bharat Ratna to former PMs Narasimha Rao and Charan Singh stems from her strained relationship with Rao, attributed to her unhappiness over the slow probe into her husband Rajiv Gandhi's assassination and ideological differences. Despite Congress's attempt to celebrate Rao's centenary in 2020, Sonia's refusal for a memorial in Delhi and absence at his cremation reflect the ongoing bitterness. Charan Singh, a former Congress leader, became a critic of the party and played a significant role in dissolving state governments after the Janata Party came to power.
